能源效率的跨国差异在文献中被广泛的关注,但是现有的实证研究并没有提供较有说服力的经验证据指出能源效率差异的决定要素。本文认为,国家间能源效率的巨大差异主要归因于各个国家在不同发展阶段实施的不同发展战略。如果一国追求重工业优先发展的赶超战略,那么该国生产要素存量配置结构必将违背由本国的要素禀赋结构决定的比较优势,从而导致国内的赶超企业缺乏自生能力,因此政府必须以扭曲市场最优配置的方式保护补贴缺乏自生能力的企业。在违背比较优势的发展战略下,扭曲的能源价格体系使得能源价格不能充分反映本国的要素禀赋结构特征,从而导致能源效率的低下。基于跨国数据的实证结果证明了本文的假说。
Cross-country differences in energy efficiency are widely noticed in the literature, but current empirical research does not provide convincing empirical evidence that sets forth the determinants of energy efficiency differences. This paper argues that the vast differences in energy efficiency among countries are mainly due to the different development strategies that various countries implement at different stages of development. If a country is pursuing a catch-up strategy that prioritizes heavy industry, then the country’s structure of production stock reserves will run counter to the comparative advantage dictated by the country’s factor endowment structure, resulting in a lack of viability for domestic catch-up companies. Therefore, The optimal allocation of market protection subsidies lack the viability of the business. Under the development strategy that violates the comparative advantage, the distorted energy price system makes the energy price can not fully reflect its own structural characteristics of factor endowments, resulting in low energy efficiency. The empirical results based on cross-border data prove the hypothesis in this paper.
